Kylie Doniak is a four-year University of Texas soccer player who was among a group of people hit by a car in downtown Austin last Friday morning. Of those in the crowd, Kylie got the worst of it, suffering a "significant head injury, multiple rib fractures, a punctured lung and a large laceration to her back. Both bones in her right leg were broken, as well."

It's a bad spot that Kylie's in, but there was some good news today, per her family.

"We got the best surprise God could ever have provided for us today!!!!" her family said this morning on the CaringBridge.org website, which family members have used to update her progress. Family members said Doniak opened her eyes.

I won't get into my whole hit-and-run spiel here, honest. But this one jumped out from the slew I look at each week.
